Can we have a full bug report on that issue please (or a pointer to an
existing one, I must have missed it).

You mean a Linux kernel with CONFIG_XEN=y? (some people say "Xen kernel"
when they mean "Xen hypervisor").

If you meant the former then you compile it in just the same way as a
non-CONFIG_XEN kernel, i.e. with make-kpkg or simply by hand, or maybe
with "make deb".

If you mean the latter then I don't think there is a "Debian way" over
and above apt-get source, debuild and friends like any other package.

Ian.

It's fabulous!  We haven't seen anything like it in the last half an
hour!
